Hi Tiia and Robert, Kaalep and Leenu,
I had a dream about Tia, Robert and Joosep on the night of May 14th (saturday) that woke me at 4:30 am, unable to sleep afterwards. I knew the anniversary was coming up, and you'd all been heavily on my mind. Bruce told me the next day that you had posted on the tribute wall, and that I should share some things. Its been a year of terrific sadness here, knowing how hard this has been for you, and no way to really reach you, much less hug you. Of course I've asked myself a million questions on whether there was anything I ever could have said to this young man we all loved so much, to make him feel differently about his life, and living. I myself had many questions about life when I was his age, and I wish I could have shared with him how my perspective changed and evolved over time.
I know you are trying to focus on gratitude for having him in your life, and I am trying to convert the sorrow to gratitude as well. If there is anything we can do on our end to create a legacy, let us know. He certainly maintained a legacy of kindness, and I try to let that inspire me to do better daily. I know he knew he was loved by his family and friends, but i hope he knew how far that light reached to the outer edges of his circle...
We love you all and miss you all. I'd love to share a video i found on my phone of a lovely time we all had together, I will post it to stories.
